## Description

Buy Just Enough Software Architecture: A Risk-Driven Approach by Fairbanks, George, Garlan, David (ISBN: 9780984618101) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

Review: Great book - Needed a book on software architecture and this just suited me - my perspective is C++, desktop applications and this book seems pretty background neutral compared to another that got sent back. Good overview of the different basic architectures. It should allow me to argue over the coming weeks during our Scrum project where we are doing big upfront design - doesn't make sense to me either.
Review: Brilliant - A really good book on architecture.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book
*by M***N on 9 September 2012*

Needed a book on software architecture and this just suited me - my perspective is C++, desktop applications and this book seems pretty background neutral compared to another that got sent back.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant
*by G***D on 2 August 2018*

A really good book on architecture.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Architecture master class for software developers
*by U***K on 4 May 2011*

This is the most comprehensive description of of both the hows and whys of architectural modelling I have ever read, period. The notion of risk-driven architecture is the first systematic way I have seen that actually helps you answer the question when you are finished architecting. And chapter 4 should be given to every software engineering student as an example of architectural reasoning. But the book as a whole is quite demanding and I would recommend it to a software professional who wants to improve the knowledge about how to develop better software from an architectural perspective, instead of a student textbook. I think you must have some experience in software development as well as several exemplars of software that you use for you own designs to benefit from everything in this book. On the other hand you could just pick a few things and those in isolation would make you a better software developer. I thought the book was a hard read, the book really challenged me to put together everything I know about software design and modelling into a single comprehensive package. It is like an architecture master class for software developers. I recommend the book to every professional I know that is interested in architecture and want to improve their game.
